 In "Lapses' Olga Szymula intends to unite fascinations for structures of dreams, the phenomenon of memory and its behaviors and ultra-dramatic gestures.
 The piece is inspired by and constructed from personal, real and unreal memories and dreams of the composer, in the piece, embodied through fictional characters of Lena, a Choir of 6 in Yellow Raincoats, an Emperor, a Man and a Shadow.
